The House Education Committee will hold an executive session on HB 1497 on Tuesday, February 13 at 10:00 a.m. in LOB 207.

The bill would change the qualifications for a school to become a “focus” or “priority” school. It would add schools that have the largest career and college readiness indicator gaps for 2 consecutive years to the list of “focus schools.” Under the bill, if these schools remain on the list for 2 consecutive years, they would be qualified as a “priority school.” The bill would also make several changes to the qualifications of a “priority school.”

The House Education Committee will hold an executive session on HB 1493 on Tuesday, February 13 at 10:00 a.m. in LOB 207.

The bill specifies that the annual statewide assessment should measure only academic achievement and growth and will not measure non-objective data, including “work-study practices or student behaviors.”
